To John C. Calhoun Esq. Secretary of War of the United States of America.
The Subscriber, an inhabitant of the Town of Livingston in the county of York and State of Maine begs leave humbly to represent, — That he served as a Soldier in the service of the United States, against Great Britain, in the Revolutionary war, for the term of three years, viz. in 1781, 1782, & 1783. Regular certificates of which are now on file in the proper offices; — On which certificates, agreeably to act of Congress passed April 10, 1810, I was allowed a Pension, and drew the same for nearly two years.
By a subsequent act, the construction of the law was so modified that my pension was withheld, on the consideration that the value of my property was too high to entitle me to the benefits of said act.
I acknowledge that I had, in my possession, at that time, property to a higher amount than was, as I understand, considered to be a standard, agreeably to the aforesaid construction, to come within the benefits of the aforesaid act.
But I was then in debt, and am now still more so, and know not how to extricate myself, but by disposing of property at reduced prices; I have been very unfortunate in my family by sickness; my wife has been confined six — months by an extraordinary and unaccountable swelling in her right hand and arm, by which she has entirely lost the use of it, and is unable to attend to any domestic affairs, and is still on expense for surgical attendance and there is no prospect of her ever being able to use her hand, even if amputation can be dispensed with. And being now advanced in years and unable to labour as I heretofore have, I really stand in need of assistance. And taking into consideration my past services, my present circumstances, the spirit and intention of the aforesaid act, and comparing my situation with many who are now enjoying the benefits of the aforesaid act, I consider myself justly entitled to the same, — and pray that my case may be taken into due consideration, and that I may be notified of what vouchers are necessary to prove the aforesaid statements and in what channel

They should be produced, and that my name may again be enrolled on the list of pensioners agreeably to the aforesaid Act, — and in duty bound will ever pray,
Elias Foss
Limington 4 th August 1824.
I hereby certify that the above named Elias Foss resides in this town and is a man with whom I am well acquainted, and know him to be a man of strict veracity, and that the statements to which he has subscribed his name are true, and he is ready to testify to the same, but being unacquainted with what vouchers are necessary, consider it more proper to delay that, till he can be notified of the regular certificates required.
